I’ve beaten poor Anthony Mackie to death upthread for not having sufficient charisma to play the lead anything, but she’s a great example of someone who is probably in the same relative tier in looks and talent and she totally pops off the screen in everything I’ve seen her in. Some performers just have it.

That’s my suspicion, or it will be open under new owners a decade from now. I don’t know how you run a camp without putting some significant time post tragedy,

Our son just finished 1B at La Junta with our daughter poised to do either Mystic or Waldemar next year. My wife is hitting refresh on all these videos muttering "fuck that, we'll send them to Cheley."

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen

If it's between us and Tech, I'm 100% supportive of holding the line on NIL commitments. If someone is picking Tech it's because that paycheck represents the goal, not making it to the NFL. -
Just got back from Bullock IMAX. It's well shot, but Jesus what incredible sound design. It reminds me of the story about David O Russell grinding on George Clooney on the set of Three Kings (the former's general dipshittery on that set is renowned). Russell is reputed to have told Clooney to lose all of the "Clooney tics" that he had honed on tv and that he thought as part of his acting repertoire. Anyway, this movie is like the director told Brad Pitt "I want you to play the movie star--you're Redford and Newman and Cruise in one. Be the most Brad Pitt you can be." It works, somewhat supported by a plot that is pretty much a collection of cliches (in other words, it feels like a movie and Pitt's performance would be out of place in something trying for more authenticity). Good, as well, to see Dr. Sharon from Ted Lasso getting work.

What would you prefer he be doing? There’s a lot of hate for Jeffries and Schumer over here-what do you think they should be doing differently?

That’s the national anthem for boomer lesbians who listen exclusively to NPR and are really into canning vegetables. -

Clearly you assholes aren’t sufficiently woke because that song is like the lesbian National anthem. -
There was an article in The NY Times recently about the campaign strategy that that Trump and Bernie employed successfully that I can’t stop trying to use in though experiments. Basically, the author proposed that they ran against the party, not just in rhetoric but that the party’s moderating influence tempers a message that’s more attention getting when it’s extreme. You can’t just be for smart immigration enforcement on the right, Trump is for zero immigration, build a wall to keep everyone out, make it impossible for unfriendly nations to even send tourists here, etc. if you’re Bernie, it’s Medicare for all. If you think the NYC Mayoral race is indicative of anything, it’s embracing things like rent freezes and free day care. In the author’s opinion, it’s not just running to the natural extreme in your own party, either (in other words, it doesn’t mean the most partisan candidates win); as these candidates might (or should) have heterodox views (Trump is a better example of this, when he touts things like a tax break on tips that would be anathema to a Paul Ryan type). Anyway, I was thinking of version of this on immigration in which a Democratic candidate runs a pro-immigration platform. The Democratic Party is terrified on seen as being soft on enforcement, weak on defense, and overly concerned with alienating coalition groups, but it’s almost impossible to find moderate positions on those issues that don’t sound wildly uninspiring (basically, you end up with Colin Alred). Imagine a candidate who says “Immigrants aren’t the problem, in fact we need more of them. I propose we tear down the wall and make anyone coming to the US a temporary resident if they can get here.” Another version of this might be “I can’t support Israel’s wars in Gaza and Iran purely on the basis that I don’t support violence for any reason.” If this author is correct, I would at least think there will be primary candidates in 2026 that will explore better whether this works.

This is probably true to a point, I.e., a lot of the program’s revenue includes donations that can either go into Bellmont or Texas One. The advantage UT/Austin (keeping those separate because location is a big part) should have is that, over a long enough time line, the specific advantages for the school to generate real value independent of wealthy donors should make the revenue stream bigger and more consistent. In other words, it’s healthier to have a Ewers getting paid to do Dr. Pepper commercials than to have Cody Campbell at Tech pony up extra money for NIL that maybe comes out of what he’d normally spend on Tech university donations (or maybe he just donates more in total but is apt to get fatigued as the money demands increase). -

Same, and I think this is one of those “the AD’s message is this” when Burton feels obligated to toe the party line. I think it’s more likely we (and by this, I mean Sark as the architect and the main NIL donors) are in agreement that a bunch of schools feel a lot richer all of a sudden and are making promises that, if we’re offering to match, are poised to make retaining the last couple of classes really expensive (I.e., well outside of the budget). It doesn’t serve sustained program success to have the top rated recruiting class year after year, only to lose 50% or more after year 1 because the financial commitment isn’t there. -
To be fair, I think a lot of people that would be supportive of the vaccine considered this so out of character for Perry that it became immediately suspicious. Who knows, maybe some phd candidate working on their poly sci dissertation can make an argument this was the start of some traditional Dems moving toward MAHA.
